okay, the whole “silly writers, siblings aren’t supposed to actually like each other” thing was always annoying, but it has now morphed into actual real-life people telling me and my actual real-life sibling that our relationship is weird and creepy because we enjoy spending time together and aren’t constantly at each other’s throats, so if we could all collectively stop pretending that siblings are only capable of being cruel to each other, and that any depiction otherwise is unrealistic, that would be great, thanks
i remember as a child, older adults would ask if my brother and i were dating just because we actually got along.... super uncomfortable. those remarks definitely impacted how we interacted. were older now and say fuck that but still,,,, those impacts are real...
